I think people over complicate skin care, but then again my skin isn’t fussy so I don’t know the struggle. I think SPF is the most important thing because UV is basically the biggest cause for wrinkles. So if you want to start simple, just a morning face moisturizer with SPF is great.

You may just have preconceived notions. I’m in a similar position and am trying not to expect this sort of behavior. However my plan is to maintain open and honest communication. If you feel resentment or animosity arising from someone, have a private meeting with them to discuss it. It’s a simple “hey I feel some resentment from you towards myself and/or other teams members and I wanted to clear the air and see if I did something to upset you?”. Usually simple, clear, concise beginnings are best. Get an understanding of why someone is acting a certain way then try to find a way to relate to their emotions. Then you can both try to come up with a way to relieve their resentment and tension between the crew members.

Another comment said “we’re all adults” but society breeds immaturity and people rarely know how to discuss their emotions so they bottle them and that can manifest as anger or passive aggression. Both of which prolong uneasy feelings for NO reason when a small discussion can usually make things better. Confrontation can be hard at first, but ultimately helps to release pressure from building up inside.

 

So glad this place is on the fediverse! Looking forward to seeing more members and posts. I used to be somewhat active in this community on that other site that we all left that rhymes with deadit.

Anyways, I drank heavily for 5-6 years, constantly blacking out and being a really shitty partner and friend. Finally decided my usage was not normal and that I had a problem so committed to sobriety.

My current streak is around 10 months because after ~1.5y sober, I thought I was cured and started “moderating” last summer. That lasted a couple months before I was back to the old ways. We all know how that goes. I don’t really count my days because it doesn’t help me at this point but in the beginning it was really awesome seeing 3, 7, 14, 30, and 90 days being strung together of choosing me and my health every single one of those days!

Looking forward to seeing more check-ins and this place getting a little more lively.

We will not drink today.

That is absolutely what follows. I am doing MUCH better, I’ve had 2.5 years sober in the last 3 years because I thought I was “cured” and started “moderating” last summer. The stop drinking subreddit was amazing insight and help. It’s on lemmy but the only posts are the daily checkin. I should start being more active on it to boost it.

You are correct. Thank you for holding me accountable. Sometimes I can be shortsighted, as it is human nature, and not consider the whole story. Sorry OP for coming off as a dick. I am empathetic to your situation and I hope you find some justice and your friend and her child can find a way to leave safely.

“Just have one or two and then stop” when telling a friend I’m an alcoholic. Well shit, thanks! That never even crossed my mind!

But they read the article about the one thing doctors don’t want you to know and now they need to tell you.

Well to hell with Reddit anyways. We’re all here because we all were on thin ice that broke, so welcome :) hope you find the community and discussion you’re looking for here. In my mind, Reddit seems to have enacted their version of martial law with the admins forcing mod teams’ hands. The company has lost site of the true spirit of the site. They are planting in mods that will bow down and do as they’re told.

Ohhhh that’s how recycling is done.

 

I just graduated optometry school and I feel like I've lost a bit of my identity. I didn't have much free time to focus on the things that make me happy and now I'm lacking inspiration. I can't work until my license is approved so I've had days of doing nothing since May 7. It's been great but it's starting to get boring; I can only play so much Zelda and doom scroll so often.

So whatcha got? What do you like to do? What are some hobbies or passions everyone has? What are non-drinking related activities to do with a partner or friends?
